Doggy Day Care in Harborough

“Victoria inspired confidence throughout, her communication is prompt and clear and she is obviously very experienced with dogs, even dogs like mine, who can be nervous without me. Bella came back home happy! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Victoria. Our next visit is already booked.”

About: I have a Level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming and Salon Management that includes a first aid course. I help my boyfriend run his successful dog day-care business, (open 10 years this year), which has had many different breeds and temperaments of dogs. From Dachshunds to Ridgebacks. I have experience with boarding at home for pre-existing clients, and I am branching out to offer sitting in your own home. I have specialised in nervous and anxious dogs in my dog grooming business. I work from home as a dog groomer, and so working for myself means I can work around your dog's needs. Ideally I would work on bringing them to work with me, but only if I was sure about their safety and happiness. For cat or small animal visits, I would discuss with you what your normal routine is around feeding and socialising with them and mirror what I can to keep them as calm and reassured as possible in their own home. I have my own car that is suited to transport cats and dogs . I have carriers, collars and leads as well as contacts at 2 different local vets. I am aware of some very safe dog walk locations. I am used to medications and dietary requirements as well as physical needs (one of my dogs had a metal plate in his legs and then eventually had it removed, another has had issues with her cruciate ligament) I will also not post any information on social media about where I am or who I am looking after until you are already back from your holiday. I will obviously update Rover whilst you are away and stay in regular contacts so that you have peace of mind. As I am also a god groomer, I can continue any grooming routines you have and may be able to sneak in a cheeky bath, face tidy and nail trim if you needed it.

About: I grew up with dogs in my family. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all ages and breeds, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. My experience covers everything from daily walks and meals to training, always making sure every dog feels loved and comfortable. Though I have no formal training, my decades of hands-on experience have taught me everything I need to be an excellent caregiver. I confidently handle daily routines and any special needs, including administering medication and following strict care instructions. My own dog Rupert has chronic health issues, so giving him pills and closely monitoring his care has become second nature to me. With genuine love for animals and years of experience, I will care for your dog as if they were my own, keeping them happy, healthy, and safe. I work from home full time, so I can care for your dog throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible. I’m available any day of the week and can easily adapt to your dog’s routine. Whether it's a midday potty break, an afternoon walk, or extra playtime, I’m here to give your pet attention and exercise whenever needed. Being home around the clock means your dog will always have a companion and prompt care, making sure they’re never left alone for long. I live in a house with a secure garden, providing dogs with safe outdoor space for fresh air and playtime throughout the day. We are also located in an area with plenty of space for longer walks, ideal for dogs that enjoy regular exercise and exploring. Our home is calm, pet-friendly, and smoke-free, and dogs are always supervised to ensure their safety and comfort. I live with my fiancé, Toby, who also works remotely. This means there is almost always someone at home, allowing for extra supervision, company, and care. We carefully follow each owner’s instructions, maintaining dogs’ usual feeding, walking, and rest routines. We share our home with our friendly pug, Rupert, who enjoys the company of other dogs and helps visiting pets feel relaxed and at home. Rupert takes multiple daily medications, so I am very comfortable administering pills and following specific care instructions. Your dog will be treated like part of the family, with lots of attention, patience, and regular photo updates for your peace of mind.

“Laura was great with Spike and he seemed really happy and settled. Thanks very much for your help. Would definitely use again.”

About: ​Since the age of 10, my life has been dedicated to animals. Growing up on a farm in Portugal, I was surrounded by the heartbreaking reality of stray animals, which sparked a lifelong mission to help. I couldn't turn a blind eye; I brought home every animal in need—from dogs and cats to injured birds. ​Eventually, after endless ignored "no more animals after this one" pleas, my parents finally accepted their fate and helped me build dedicated kennels on our farm. Together with the local community, we provided food, medical care, and a safe haven for these animals until we could find them their forever homes. Through these 17 years of rescue work, I didn't just provide care; I studied animal behavior deeply, learning how to communicate with and comfort dogs of all temperaments. ​Currently, I am the proud parent of two dogs—a Husky and a rescue Collie/Lab—who are my entire world. I know how difficult it is to leave your fur-babies behind, which is why I treat every guest like a member of my own family. ​When your dog is with me, they can expect: * 🌟 Endless Love & Cuddles: No shortage of affection and sofa time. ​🌟 Active Adventures: Frequent walks and play tailored to their energy levels. ​🌟 Paddock Time: I live 10 minutes away from a secure paddock where I take my dogs all the time; I'm happy to take yours for a run there too! ​🌟 A "Spoilt" Experience: I promise to love and spoil your pups just as much as I do my own. ​I truly miss the feeling of being surrounded by "fur" and making a difference in an animal's life. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them a home-away-from-home experience! I'm currently studying full time from home so your fur baby will never be alone. Walks 3x a day - morning after and evening I go paddocks often especially in good weather and I am happy to take yours along. ​I offer a safe, loving environment with a fully fenced-in garden for secure playtime. My two friendly dogs provide great company, ensuring your pet never feels lonely. I am experienced with crate training if needed for sleeping or quiet time. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a consistent routine, plenty of supervised exercise, and constant attention to keep your fur baby happy and secure.

“Carl and Clare went above and beyond to have Henry at short notice during a family emergency. I was reassured the minute I met them - the very definition of 'dog people'! Very thorough pre brief and kept me updated with photos on the day. They took away a lot of stress for me during a very stressful time. Henry had the time of his life with his new gang and slept so long I had to wake him up for his breakfast the next day (unheard of!)”
